San Diego, CA, United States, 2006/01/10 - All those video iPods under the Christmas tree last month resulted in consumers going online to find mobile video content to enjoy on their new device.

Veoh Networks, Inc. first Internet Television Peercasting Network, today announced it saw usage more than triple on Christmas Day. The company also noted that its free catalog of online videos doubled, to 20,000, since its beta introduction in September.

One of the more popular gifts this past holiday season was Apple's latest iPod, which includes the ability to watch full-color video on the go. Veoh now offers more than 8,000 videos on its network compatible with the video iPod. This is nearly three times the inventory available last month.

"One of the biggest discussions and avenues of innovation at the Consumer Electronics Show last week was the inroads being made to let consumers enjoy media anywhere and anyhow," said Dmitry Shapiro, CEO of Veoh Networks. "Veoh's democratization of video and the introduction of revolutionary devices, like the video iPod, means consumers around the world can realize this concept today."
